Qingfeng Town, a school.
Yang Xiaosi was sitting by the window, staring blankly at the green shade of the birds chirping. Lu Li saw her expression was gloomy and asked kindly: "Xiaosi, what's wrong? She's listless."
Yang Xiaosi was swayed by his push. She held her head with both hands and seemed to be saying to herself: "Oh, I haven't seen Fifth Senior Sister for a long time. I'm thinking about her."
When Qiong Yi was mentioned, Lu Li sighed. Ever since the Qingming Festival, Qiong Yi had told them that he would go out for a quick trip and get married, but he never came back.
In fact, this fifth senior sister often disappeared in the school before. For example, during last year's lantern festival, she disappeared for more than ten days without any reason. This year, when she first came to Qingfeng to study, she took leave and disappeared for more than a month. I heard people say She was a guest at Su's Mansion, and in recent months, she went to nowhere. What came back from the outside was not her people, but a lot of gossip about her.
All the disciples in the school knew about the marriage appointment between the two clans at the "Jin Fang Fei" Qing Chun Hua Banquet. Lu Xiyan's reputation for superb swordsmanship spread even louder and louder. She became an unattainable figure in the eyes of others. The young lady.
When Lu Li heard these words, he couldn't tell how he felt in his heart. He felt that his senior sister seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them, so he said, "Xiaosi, I miss my senior sister too."
Yang Xiaosi said sadly: "Lu Li, there are a few people with bad conduct in our classroom who make me angry and like to gossip in my ears every day. They said that my senior sister got a good marriage and disappeared without knowing it, and also said that she was born Despicable, unworthy, and even said that she is just greedy for pleasure by not coming back now." Yang Xiaosi sat up straight, "I have sent all these people away, and I can't make friends with them."
Lu Li clapped his hands and said, "That's right. Even if you are bored, you don't have to get along with them. At least we still have company."
At this point, Yang Xiaosi hinted in a roundabout way: "I really envy my senior sister for being able to communicate with Mr. Sheng."
Lu Li didn't understand what there was to envy in sharing his feelings with Sheng Xuanyuan. He mistakenly thought that Yang Xiaosi also liked Sheng Xuanyuan, but based on his understanding of her, it shouldn't be the same.
While Lu Li's brain was shutting down, Yang Xiaosi glanced at him and sighed: "Forget it."
Lu Li still didn't quite understand what she meant.
Yang Xiaosi thought to himself: "I heard that there were a lot of troubles in the rivers and lakes, and many people died. All tribes have transferred manpower there. The Western Front is still in a stalemate, and my father has also been dispatched by the master and will be transferred to the newly established Imperial Army. ”
Lu Li was confused: "Then the Academy will just leave it at that?"
"No way." Yang Xiaosi laughed: "If there is a real fight, we don't have to rush to the front."
After a long silence, she said: "Stupid Lu Li, I'm going to the palace with my father. From now on, you won't be able to see me in Taipa."
Lu Li was stunned.

Su Ye woke up and recovered day by day. Sheng Xuanyuan and Qiong Yi finally felt relieved. They allowed the seriously injured Yan Tingshen and Su Ye to recover from their injuries in the hospital, while they followed the Sheng Yue clan's men to hunt down Cheng Shaozheng. .
Qin Hanchuan stood in front of the formation, wearing a dark red monochromatic robe. Although it was men's clothing, it added a touch of heroic appearance to the stunning color. When he saw Qiong and Yi coming, he smiled and waved: "We're here."
She cleared her throat and said: "Since you two are here, I will relinquish the leadership position and let you take it. The spies came to report that the Qiyin Sect seemed to be gathering in the ambush of the Six Mountains to look for something. This matter is I'll leave it to you, the younger generation, to practice your skills and gain some knowledge. You must kill the evildoers and leave no one behind."
Yue Huan respected this senior with unpredictable strength and said, "Yes."
Qiong is also wearing plain clothes, a light white top, gray and green trousers on the temples, a string string hanging on her waist, and her long brown hair is braided randomly. It is an ordinary and very stylish outfit, clean and neat, not gorgeous, and she can stand in the crowd. The room is particularly bright. Qin Hanchuan pulled her to the front of the queue and said loudly to the disciples of the two clans: "This is Lu Xiyan, a disciple of the Lu family. When she goes out on a mission, she should be ranked according to her seniority. Her overall strength is stronger than those present, so orders on the way should be taken seriously. , you must listen.”
Everyone responded: "Yes."
After Qin Hanchuan learned that the night march to Wu Yue and the rapid deployment of troops were all Qiong Yi's ideas, he recognized her decisiveness and fierceness that was completely opposite to her appearance. If Sheng Xuanyuan was good at calmly responding to situations, Qiong Yi was impressed. You know, you take the overall situation seriously, and although your heart is soft, your temper is not soft at all.
Qiong also smiled slightly at Qin Hanchuan, who smiled back and watched them leave.

With Yan Tingshen's dictation that day, Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuanyuan could easily guess what Cheng Shaozheng and his men were looking for in the Six Mountains Ambush.
Cang Yu sealed the sword to be autistic, and it would be extremely difficult to revive it and recognize the enemy as the master again. The Qiyin Sect and his party were probably searching for the aura-laden Cang Iron Ore in Lingqiu, in order to recast Cang Yu and revive it.
Cangtie is a rare mineral in the world, and Six Mountains is also a legendary place. However, legends can always be traced. Under the leadership of people who are familiar with the shape of Changtai Mountain, the three men led by Sheng Xuanyuan, Qiong Yi and Yue Huan Sword cultivator No. 10 spent several days finding Lingqiu.
Yue Huan was not lively during the trip. Yue Huan was a man of few words. He only spoke to Qiong Yi once on the way, to apologize for his little sister's offensive behavior at the Spring Banquet. Qiong Yi did not want to recall this extremely embarrassing incident. During the Spring Banquet, I carelessly avoided the topic and said nothing else to him. Among the monks sent by the two tribes, there were only a few female monks. Most of the time, Qiong Yi stayed with them, exchanging some cultivation experiences or anecdotes on the road, and even received sword spikes from each other.
Lingqiu.
In the mountain with a strong miasma, their first battle was not with the evil demon sect, but with a large number of transformed tree demons. Although there were many tree demons, they were no match for everyone. They finally surrendered and learned about their group through simple communication. The purpose of people coming here.
"Well... they said that they took the initiative to attack us because some people have been doing evil in the mountains in recent days." A female cultivator of the Yue family who is familiar with woodcraft held the branch that the tree demon stretched out in front of her. The leaves were calm and windless. Automatically, like a voice, "They thought we were the accomplices of that gang, so they started hurting people. Now they are willing to let us go and let us continue walking."
Yue Huan waved his hand: "In that case, let's continue..."
Qiong Yi interrupted him and said: "No, please continue talking to it." Yue Huan frowned, Qiong Yi apologized to him: "Master Yue, I'm sorry, please listen to me."
"Miss Lu, tell me."
"The 'Tree Demon' gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create an illusion. It is essentially a 'spirit'. It is not a monster, let alone evil." Qiong Yi said in a clear voice: "There are people doing evil in the mountains, and they must be evil spirits. Their original intention is to drive away The evil person has a similar purpose to ours. Since we can talk, let’s take the opportunity to find out more clues. The mountain spirits may have methods that we can’t think of.”
Yue Huan was dumbfounded: "I didn't think so much."
The female cultivator of the Yue family cast a questioning look at Qiong Yi. She nodded and said, "Sister Shu Huai, tell it our origins and say, 'We can expel those evil people for you. I wonder if we can provide them with their whereabouts.' '."
Shu Huai passed the message according to Qiong Yi's words, and after a moment he said happily: "The tree spirits unanimously said that they are willing to do their best to find people for us. We just want to drive them out of Lingqiu and leave no one behind."
Qiong also chuckled: "That's natural."
After the words fell, the trees in front of them began to tremble, one after another, the leaves danced with the wind, the soil under their feet undulated, and something seemed to be surging under the soil. Everyone understood that this was the root system of the tree spirit spreading into the distance. . It has eyes all over Lingqiu. With such speed, it is easy to find Cheng Shaozheng and his party.
Shu Huai walked back to the crowd and smiled at Qiong Yi: "Miss Lu is very adaptable. When I was seeking Dharma and practicing in the clan, the elders always said how strange and weird the monsters were. This is the first time I have joined hands with a monster to fight against the enemy. "
Qiong Yi only thought it was a trivial matter and couldn't bear her such praise. She smiled and turned to look at Sheng Xuanyuan who was standing a few steps away. He didn't say a word and looked at her with very peaceful eyes. Just now he and Yue He was also so quiet when Huan spoke, and didn't speak when he didn't need to. Qiong also knew that he thought so too.
The shaking of the branches stopped, and an emerald leaf slowly floated down and landed in front of Shu Huai. She raised her hand to hold it and said, "They said, 'Found it.'"
With the guidance of the tree demon, everyone found the Qiyin Sect's group led by Cheng Shaozheng without much effort. This group of people had already dug several deep pits in the mountain caves. The trees were downed and the ground was in a mess. The cultivators who were looking for weapons looked shocked and picked up their weapons one after another: "What are you doing..."
"Who are you?!"
The monks who gathered around were fierce and well-dressed. Cheng Shaozheng easily recognized which two clans they belonged to. He focused his gaze on the leaders Qiong Yi and Sheng Xuanyuan. Although he had never seen these two faces before, But he had personally fought against the swords in their hands, Xian Ge and Cheng Ying, and he remembered very clearly: "It's you."
The Demon Sect's men gathered around. Cheng Shaozheng raised his whip and said with a smile: "It seems that Su Ye is really a member of the Su family. You guys came here at this time, so you must have collected his body for him, right?"
Seeing his playful attitude, Qiong felt resentful in her heart. Sheng Xuanyuan knew that talking was useless and kept silent if he could take action. Chengying flew out of his sheath, and the two groups of soldiers faced each other. The scene was chaotic for a while.
Sheng Xuanyuan was at the forefront. Even though Cheng Shaozheng had many men protecting him, he was not afraid at all and wanted to take his head. Qiong also wanted to seek revenge for Su Ye, and her cooperation with Sheng Xuanyuan was very tacit. One person was covering the situation, while the other was rushing in at a high speed.
The days when Qin Hanchuan led them to practice hard were not in vain. Sheng Xuanyuan didn't shout to help, but the strong ink green flames of the sword remained for a long time, completely crushing him in terms of momentum. Gui Mo Fu skills were integrated into every sword skill of his. Cheng Shaozheng's cultivation level was quite high. , evil spells were added, but they were no match for the flawless cooperation of these two people. The Nine Mysterious Whips struck them, and they had to fight and retreat in order to save their lives.
He observed his men. Yu Yuan, who was the most powerful, was fighting one against ten. He was tightly restrained by Yue Huan. There was a troubled look on his angry face covered with beard. He wanted to come to support but it was true that he was unable to do anything. The rest of the soldiers were already mining ores. On that day, his physical strength was exhausted. Even if his subordinates had the heart to protect the master and wanted to help him meet the enemy, they were blocked and intercepted by the girl wearing a plain white short shirt using strange magic.
Qiong Yi jumped forward, his sword shining like snow, and was violently knocked away by the sharp whip with a ghostly roar. He also used the power of the wind condensation technique to push forward, and the sword intent condensed on the Xinge blade. The white light was dazzling, and Sheng Xuanyuan's pine-black sword energy intertwined, and Cheng Shaozheng's whip was filled with black energy, but he was unable to block these two moves. He roared to the sky: "Yun Ya! How long do you want to watch the show?!"
